Parents started showing up at Calgary hospitals with sick children on Sept. 1, the Friday before the Labour Day weekend. 

The numbers grew on Saturday.

By Sunday, as more and more children fell ill, the first case of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, or STEC, came back positive.

"It confirmed what our suspicion was," said Dr. Stephen Freedman, an emergency medicine physician at Alberta Children's Hospital who researches STEC infections at the University of Calgary's Cumming School of Medicine.

"It was not one or two a day, but 25-30 kids a day. By Sunday, 50 kids."
